Another intense gaming moment caught up tape, this time it's the Ratchet & Clank A Crack In Time PLATINUM TROPHY unlocking.

We had everything completed in the game, all collectibles, hard mode playthrough completed, side missions, etc... the only remaining trophy was getting over 10000 points in the little mini game. Believe it or not, it's pretty freaking tough, and it's not as easy as it looks.

Fortunately, you can do the mini game with 2 players, working cooperatively to get the 10000 points.

No trophies, no purchase!
I can't believe PSP remakes for the PS3 don't have trophy support. I'm also very disappointed that Square-Enix is releasing classic-legendary-all-time RPG hits as PSone classics on the Playstation Store because these won't have trophies either.

I would have loved to play Final Fantasy V or Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger with trophy support.. but we just can't have ice cream with cake.

News just surfaced today that there will be NO Playstation Store available this evening. This news is upsetting to most of us.
I was really looking forward to logging into the store, and redeeming all of my preorder codes just like many of you gamers that purchased games in the past 5 weeks. Come on Sony, give us the store back soon! I need my updates!

OMG yes! Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker that was originally a PSP exclusive title is now being remastered in HD for the PS3 system. I can't wait for this! Peace Walker was an amazing game, and to play/see it on the PS3 would be an absolute treat.

I have played enough games to notice that I keep hearing Nathan Drake's (from Uncharted) voice in almost every second game I put in my PS3. It makes no sense. Nolan North (the voice actor for Nathan Drake and many other characters) is not even that great of a voice actor. To me, his voice has become a pain to hear in any video game that isn't Uncharted.

Why are the people in charge of audio in games still hiring Nolan North to do the voice overs? I could do a better job, and it would be a lot more flavourful - I guarantee.
I don't want to hear Drake's voice in Assassins Creed (as Desmond) or Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (as Deadpool).. AS DEADPOOL?? DRAKE = DEADPOOL WTF? Capcom, seriously?

Well, whatever. Enjoy this video, its a compilation of Nolan North's voice in many games... many which arn't even that good..

Back for another epic gaming moment caught on tape.
Today's video shows off the unlocking of the platinum trophy in Split Second for PS3. This game was pretty sick, very good arcade style racing game jam packed with action. If you are looking for a racing simulator, this isn't the game for you. But if you're into fast paced racing with explosions and lots of action, then this is right for you.

The platinum trophy was not too hard to earn, the single player trophies are pretty easy - it's the multiplayer trophies that are tougher to get, however they are not impossible.

Let me know if you need help with this game. For now, enjoy my video!

L.A. Noire is coming out tomorrow morning so pick up your pre-orders or start thinking about going to the store to pick up your copy. This game is HOT - from what I've seen.
This game is guaranteed to be a unique experience for all gamers. Rockstar Games have implemented new motion capture technology in this game that makes the character animations look LIFE-LIKE.
From what I've seen the map is huge and looks identical to 1940s Los Angeles.

Another update,
I've just been finishing up my hard drive upgrade from 250GB to 500GB. The extra space is necessary if you enjoy downloading games from PSN and have many games installed.

Check out the video, ask me if you need tips on how to do it. The video shows you what to do after you have put in the new HDD.
Copy the latest firmware PS3UPDAT.pub obtained from the Playstation website, and place it in a folder on a USB stick or SD card (formatted to FAT) called UPDATE (case sensitive). Place the UPDATE folder in a folder called PS3 so that the path length looks like this : (SD/USB > PS3 > UPDATE > PS3UPDAT.pub).

The procedure is super low invasive, and it does not take long either. You just need a screw driver, and the ability to screw a total of 4 screws. It only took me a few minutes to make the swap.

Don't forget to backup your data though before removing the hard drive. Use the PS3's backup option under System Settings.

Let me just say this is one hell of a game. Sega's Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PS3 is a must have for any collection.
The disc is packed with something like over 30 classic Sega Genesis titles. The game also includes trophies!

Robotnik's Mean Jellybean Machine had to of been one of the toughest puzzles games ever made. Watch the video and see why.
Getting the trophy for beating this game was the last one I had to unlock in order to unlock the platinum.

Back for another update,
I've been playing MAG online and Street Fighter 4, having so much fun. I am enjoying the PSN being back, and the ability to play with all my fellow PS3 Users. Add me on PSN, join my MAG Clan [613].

To keep things live, I have posted a video of some MAG ownage. Check it out leave some comments.
